Is anybody else's OCD bothered by the fact they have a different post for the stand than the rest of the Star Wars figures?
It's just the standard black post instead of the more "Star Wars" post. Just a nit pick but otherwise a great figure.

If I hadn't already broken down and ordered a second, last night, this pic would've been the final straw. Ordered locally so won't be here until late February but nice to know I've locked in my second at retail (and $90 CAD less than Sideshow). Have a feeling these guys are going to get real expensive once they sell out. Assuming we get both a white and black pauldron variant, I'll limit myself to one or the other.
The thing that bothers me is that they can't be combined as well like the other stands can for various reasons--hole for the stand, hole for droid stand, foot prints, general shape of the sand not blending together if put side by side. There's my OCD at work.
Damn, two look good like that.

I really like the stand and it looks great for one figure as a standalone but not sure I like 'em for multiples, esp once the variants come out. I'll be posing them without stands, I think, to try and get a natural group look once they're all together.
Yeah, those orange pauldrons are just iconic to me. When I think 'Sandtrooper', it's always this look. Plus I need at least a couple grunts for white or black to boss around.
Only the one had the raised eyebrow bar, correct?

Probably. I found in-person the brow is pretty unnoticable (least doesn't seem as prominent as I expected from photos). I'll be posing them scanning in different directions, though, to minimize both that and the identical weathering.
Surely Darth won't be half the trouble this guy was

Sounds like I'm in for it! Better get some guys over to help.
No, really, it's so simple to assemble.
The fiddly bit is putting the backpack strap through the buckles. But just feed it through with a pair of tweezers.
Thank you sirSimilar threads
